' Chilly Scenes of Winter' (1979) - Blu-ray pre-order available from The Criterion Collection direct - $27.96
Release date: March 28 "The trailblazing Joan Micklin Silver — one of only five women to direct a film for a Hollywood studio in the 1970s — digs fearlessly into the psychology of a thorny relationship in this anti–romantic comedy, based on Ann Beattie’s best-selling novel, about lovelorn civil servant Charles (John Heard) and his married-but-separated coworker Laura (Mary Beth Hurt). Months after their affair has ended, Charles is haunted by memories as he desperately attempts to rekindle a love that perhaps never was. Switching deftly between past and present, Micklin Silver guides this piercing deconstruction of male wish-fulfillment fantasy beyond standard movie-romance tropes into something more complicated and cuttingly truthful."
